To say I’m a Brie nut would be an understatement. Funny thing – I didn’t know I was until just last Christmas. A friend had some Brie en croute on the menu as an appetizer and to be honest? That was the first time I had ever even heard of Brie. And it was also when I became an official addict. There are about a billion ways to eat Brie and a billion toppings to put on it, but this is my favorite. Buttery, caramely, pecans with soft, melty cheese, wrapped in flaky dough. Perfection. You’re going to love it. I promise.
